    Stories That Honestly Reveal Life
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2011*

I've read many of this author's books and have enjoyed most of them. I hadn't yet read any of her short stories, so I thought this would be a good collection to begin with. Although I must say, they are not "short" stories in the sense of being just a few pages long. They are short stories of the longer version - some of which I wish she would develop into their own standing book. I would have to honestly say that a few of the stories could have been stronger, if to my liking, but overall, most of them were excellent. I suppose no author could write a large number of stories and have everyone who read them, like them all! What I did like about the majority of these stories is that the author's characters share with us a really honest look at life. And I mean regular everyday kind of life - nothing fancy, nothing unreachable - just the kind of situations, joys and fears, accomplishments and failures, that we all face sooner or later.For example - don't we always hear that a good strong relationship can endure honestly in its purest and fullest forms? I guess that would be wonderful and probably SHOULD be that way - but as the author illustrates in one of the stories "Rain," the main character realizes that being totally honest with one's partner can be truly risky, at times dangerous, and at times just a bit cruel. So how much of this honesty should he/she reveal? No one wants their partner to lie to them - so what happens? This story looks at these situations with a revelation of what honest relationships can or can't endure - and with either way, how and when do we carefully cross certain boundaries.Another story, "Double Diet," explores the differences with which men and women look and approach most everything, but in this case, it's dieting - yet dieting, leads to a couple's discovery of these "differences" into many other aspects of their marriage and relationship. These two characters also discover how their subject of focus in this story actuallly helps them discover how their marriage, as well as they themselves, have changed because of passing years. The honest look into this aspect of life reveals that we may perhaps be fearing fear itself, but instead we should be simply moving forward and changing along with the years - you can't hold onto things forever as they were! This story explores so much more than just merely a diet.These are just a couple of examples of the depth of the author's stories in this book. They all have something to do with food, relationships and midlife, however, they end up with exploring so much more. I do recommend this book highly. It's definitely worth the read. Undoubtedly, there were a couple stories which I less preferred than the others, probably because I wished they had either a) ended differently, and/or b) continued just a bit more because I felt let down that the story had been wrapped up enough. Anyway, that may be just my opinion! Overall, this is a wonderful book in which it's very easy to get lost in the characters, their stories, and the life revelations that we can all relate to.

    What a gem!
  

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023*

I started this book while recovering from yet another round of COVID.  I was banished to our guest room and waking frequently in the night, coughing and congested so my Kindle was getting a lot of use.  This book kept me company in many of those wee hours.  Sometimes I wasn't too happy with this book when I'd be in a chapter that had me blubbering like an idiot which only made me more congested.  But then I'd move on to a chapter that soon had me giggling like a schoolgirl.  I recommend this book SOOOO much. It is a mix of chapters with her observations on life and chapters that are short stories in themselves. Each chapter is a gem. I would say RUN, yes, RUN to get your hands on this book or audiobook. You will thank me. I promise!
